Host Opens Veterans Day Broadcast With Gratitude For Service
Jenna Ellis I love talking about the things of God. Because of truth and the biblical worldview. The U.S. constitution obligates our government to preserve and protect the rights that our founders recognize come from God our creator, not our government. I believe that scripture in the Bible is very clear that God is the one that raised up each of you and God has allowed us to be brought here to this specific moment in time.
Jenna Ellis This is Jenna Ellis in the Morning.
Ryan Helfenbein Good morning. It's Wednesday, November 11th. Welcome to Jenna Ellis in the Morning. I'm Rhyen Helfenbein filling in for Jenna while she's on vacation. Today is Veterans Day, folks. And to the men and women who serve our country in uniform and to the families who serve alongside them, I just want to say thank you. We are so grateful for your sacrifice. It's a good reminder that freedom is never free. It comes at the highest price. And while ideas are debated in Washington and while I know that many are frustrated by the outcome of this election, we must always remember the people who serve and defend this nation in uniform. So I just want to say thank you to all of our veterans. Thank you for supporting this program.
Congressional Leadership Changes And Senate Deadlines Shape Republican Agenda
Yesterday, the House halted Thomas Masky's effort to move forward with impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, referring to the resolution Committee instead. And House Republicans also elected Jim Jordan as their next leader. Jordan defeated Steve, Scalise to succeed him, while Mike Johnson has stepped away, from leadership, after three years serving as speaker of the House to spend more time with with his family. In the Senate, however, Republicans kept Jon Thune. Some Republican members of Congress wanted to delay the decision until the conference had a serious discussion about the election losses and what Republicans would accomplish before January. But the clock is ticking. No one stepped up to challenge Thune for leadership. Thune is now still the leader of the Senate Republicans. He'll be the leader for the next two years. Thune has refused to eliminate the legislative filibuster, which, by the way, was not added until 1806 as a procedure in the Senate. It's not found in our Constitution. And many say that this is the first thing Democrats will break when they have a clear line to do so, whether that comes before 2028 or after. Thune, of course, failed to advance the Save America act before the election, which would have ensured voter ID across this nation in federal elections, protecting against the disenfranchisement of American citizens in blue states where voter ID laws are not in place. Now, Republicans have about seven weeks left to pass reconciliation that does not require 60 votes. Some Senate Republicans are asking why the party is not moving faster to replenish military stockpiles and finish its remaining agenda in this term. The government funding deadline is December 11th, one month from today. The new Congress begins on January 3rd. They also have to complete the fiscal year 2027 defense authorization. All of this is critical before Democrats take over Congress.
Immigration Debate Raises Questions About DACA And Republican Commitments
But the subject of immigration is still front and center. And according to many exit polls, this was an issue that Republicans were pleased with and also what Democrats hated the most, next to Iran and their claim on affordability. Yes, it's a major issue among voters. And last night, Homeland, Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullins joined Laura Ingram and said there would be zero change in immigration policy. He said amnesty would never be on the table. But that assurance comes after he raised the possibility of Congress considering permanent legal status for DACA recipients. People brought into this country illegally as children who qualify for the program. Let's go ahead and play the clip.
Laura Ingraham Seems like every time Republicans feel like they're running into a rough spot, they rush to some type of immigration deal with a party that you yourself have said has no interest in lowering immigration, legal immigration, or enforcing the laws as they exist. So why would any idea be floated to work with the Democrats on an issue that is their holy grail as well?
Mark Wayne Mullin Well, I think it depends on what you're talking about. If they want to talk about making people that enter this country here illegally legal, that's a non starter. If they want to talk about how do we reform amnesty and how the port of entries work, they want to talk about why does your
Laura Ingraham flow DACA, Mr. Secretary, why is that the message for you guys of election?
Mark Wayne Mullin I mean, daca, has daca, applies to children that were brought in this country no fault of their own. They were bs, but they were brought here no fault of their own. And some of them may not even speak English or never even lived in their country. I think there's, there's a part that we could look to say, listen, you're not going to become citizens because you wasn't born here, but is there a path for you to be legal? I know that's it's a very far fetch because the President tried to do this in 2016. The Democrats weren't interested in doing it. So. But before we even consider doing any of that, we're going to make sure that one, our base is with us on it. They're not with you. And so, and if they're not with. I'm just saying this and I'm going to tell you, the President, the president will not sign anything that isn't in the, isn't in the right movement for this country and the Republican Party.
Laura Ingraham The problem is, even if there was some deal that you could kind of say, oh, maybe we'll get that for that, and that kind of would seem good. Problem is you're not going to be in office maybe in two years or four years or six
Ryan Helfenbein years.
Guest Outlines Three Possible Motives Behind Trump Immigration Signals
Joining me now is Steve Dase, host of the Steve Dase Show. Steve, good morning. What are your thoughts about all of this?
Steve Deace I think that, you know, you go back to what the president said on 60 Minutes Sunday night, and I told my audience the next day, I'm going to be able to tell you a lot, about what we're going to be saying, at this time two years from now after the 2028 election, based on what this clip is about and the President. The reason why we're up here and discussing it is because the president introduced this voluntarily, in his 60 Minutes interview, last Sunday night. He, even described people who want the mass deportations he promised and ran successfully on in 2020. He described them as far right. So the president ran on deporting 20 million people in 2024. He ran successfully on that and ended up winning, the Latino men vote by 10 points. So why open up this front? I think that was a great question by Laura. I think that there are three reasons. the first, is the President really means it, and if he follows through with it, then, you know, we're going to lose in 2028, and your audience can all fight. And you know, my home state here where I'm at, we can all fight over Vance Rubio and Desantis. I mean, I would tell them all, don't even run. You're all losing. All right? And because you're going to see a, a repeat of 1992 with no new taxes, you break covenant like that with your base. we'll have, if Anything. Somebody like Tucker will run independent like Ross Perot did, get 5, 6, 7, 8% just like Ross got 19. You know, Ross did this by running kind of as a third party on the economy. Somebody will run third party on immigration and our heritage. And, that person, you know, will get 7, 8, 9%. And it's all going to be millennial men and Gen Z men, who. Immigration is the number one issue. So that's possibility number one. Possibility number two is I think, the most likely because he just named Steven Miller the OG immigration warrior, his chief of staff is this is an attempt by the President to bait Democrats into showing they're not going to make any reasonable deals on anything. The President just lost and Republicans did nationwide independence 2 to 1 across the country. And so this is to show Democrats really don't care about affordability. it's a chance to essentially entrap them in a corner. And they're already going to demonstrate this. They're already talking Medicare for all and teach everybody the word affordability has barely been brought up since last Tuesday night. Right. And so you put them in a corner to show these aren't the, these aren't new Democrats, the same ones you rejected many, many times in the past. And you start planting that seed right now of defining them as successfully defining them as radicals, so that you can then successfully run against that in two years. And if the President does that and pulls that off Rhyen, then I would tell all those guys, everybody wants to fight over all of you. Run. Because if he pulls that off, we're going to win in 2028. Okay. There's a third option though that I think has to be considered. the President doesn't want to be impeached and removed from office. There is a real threat of this right now. Democrats, depending on what happens in Alaska, need 10 U.S. senators to remove the President. There's, at least, or 10 Republican senators. There's at least two, I can just say off the top of my head, Jon Curtis in Utah, Lisa Murkowski in Alaska, at least two that would vote that way right away. We have two situations. One in Kentucky with the incapacitated Mitch McConnell, one in my home state of Iowa, the 93 year old Charles Grassley, where they could succumb to father time and a Democrat appoints, their successor and you flip those two seats and now you're at four. And if you get to four, there's about 10 or 15 other Republican senators that would love to vote to remove Trump, but just don't think they're safe to do it. But if it looked like it was close enough and there was a critical mass, maybe they could excuse doing it. And I, and I. One thing that all those senators, those Republican senators, the president is worried about voting against him all have in common is they're all amnesty pimps, every last one of them. So this could be, an attempt to, you know, as an olive branch. Is this the deal I have to cut to save my own presidency so I don't go down with the ultimate black mark in history? Because we all know the president cares greatly about legacy and how he'll be remembered. He talks about it constantly. It's, it's part of his own sort of heterodoxical theology or sodorology maybe is a more specific way of putting it. So one of those three options are on the table. It's Donald Trump. So it could be one of those options today and another one of those options again in a few weeks and another one of those options again next year. But one of those three options are what's going to play out over the next two years. Ryan. And if the middle one is the one, that's the one I think he's utilizing, but if the middle one is the one that this is the ultimate outcome, then he'll have successfully, reinvigorated his presidency and rebranded Democrats as too radical to govern. And we've got a real chance to win again in 28. But if it's one of the other two options, then, our chances of winning in 28 are greatly diminished.
Ryan Helfenbein Well, I got to go back and I agree with your assessment. That's right.
Texas Republican Politics Reveal Tensions Between Managers And Voters
On, that 2024 ill fated border bill, that came together with James Lankford, Kyrsten Sinema, Krish Murphy, this was that famous 5,000 a day rule, that they put in there, wildly unpopular. it was dead on arrival. Republicans hate this. and it's always interesting to me, it's the, sometimes the deep red states, that produce the most moderate Republican candidates, like Oklahoma. but you look at this and I think Republicans are not only thinking about, obviously about the pressure on Trump, but they're thinking at, they're looking at the map. They're looking at 40 electoral votes, in Texas. And they're wondering, will we win in Texas again? 40% of Texas is now Latino. And they're all scratching their head and thinking, how did Greg Abbott lose? We know, we know why Ken Paxton, we think lost. but they're not getting the message. And they're looking at South Carolina now. Yeah, go ahead.
Steve Deace Texas, to me is a unique situation, because the Democrats ran a candidate in Texas differently than what they ran in many of these other states like Mississippi and South Carolina, where they're going to pull upsets, it looks like, in Mississippi as well, Texas is its own thing. What you have in Texas is Jon Thune has been running the Republican Party of Texas or a construct like him for decades. It's all managerialism. Yeah, it's all managerialism. There's nothing, there's nothing really, ah, principled, and, ah, Texas, there was a joke for several years. If you want to know what Greg Abbott's going to probably end up having to do just in a few weeks or months, just see what Ron DeSantis is doing in Florida right now. All right.
Ryan Helfenbein Right. That's right. Yep.
Steve Deace And so these guys have all just been managers and Texas, all Texans care about is making the trains run on time. And, underneath them was building as they were importing all these young voters from California and other places, was because it was just about money and materialism. Underneath them was building a counterculture. Talarico won specifically because of the brand of Christianity he preached. And so he built a new Democratic Party. And Texas is going to be something that has to confront uniquely on its own.
Ryan Helfenbein Yeah, I 100% agree. We've got to steal the spine of Texas Republicans. This is important, folks. You are listening to Jenna Ellis in the Morning. We will be right back at after this break.

Iran Conflict And Congressman’s Refusal To Label Iran Adversary
Lots to talk about what is next in Iran, even as gas prices tumble, just as President Trump said they would. The President also said earlier this week that if he had to do it all over again, he would have done the same thing in Iran. Because Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Since the Iranian Revolution of 1979 causing the Shah of Iran to flee, Americans were taken hostage during the Carter years. One of the biggest embarrassments during his time as president, those hostages were Released, by the way, when Reagan took office, the hostage crisis was not the end of that confrontation. It was the beginning of a relationship defined by deep hostility. And, since 1979, folks, there have been over 66,000 terrorist attacks worldwide, over 250,000 lives that have been lost. And one of the leading sponsors of state terrorism, of course, is in Iran. I don't have to remind anyone of that. But yesterday, Democratic Congressman elect Adam, Hammawi of NewSong Jersey appeared on cnn. Pamela Brown repeatedly asked whether he considered Iran an adversary of the United States, and he declined to give a direct yes or no answer. Let's play the clip.
Pamela Brown Do you see Iran as the adversary?
Caroline I see, we pushed them into a fight. And so I think we both have to step back and say, is this helping either one of us?
Pamela Brown Are they the adversary
Caroline there? We're making adversaries when we should be making.
Pamela Brown They've been saying death to America for decades.
Caroline We've been saying death to Iran for decades as well. And so what we need to do is use diplomacy.
Pamela Brown They've killed a lot of Americans and
Caroline we've killed a lot of them as well. So
Pamela Brown you, so you don't see Iran as an adversary? I
Caroline see that we are pushing Iran into a fight when we have the leverage to kind of bring them to the table. And we did that during the Obama administration. And we could do that again if we use, you know, diplomacy, our leverage, our both economic, not just military power, to create friends in the region to pressure them as well, and to bring peace to the region if we want to.
Guest Condemns Democrats And Argues Against Iran Nuclear Concessions
Ryan Helfenbein Here to react this morning is my good friend Rod Martin. He's the founder and CEO of Martin Capital and the Rod Martin Report. He's also author of the brand new book Trump's NewSong World Dismantling the Deep State and Ending Post War Globalist Rule. Rod, welcome to the program. What are your thoughts this morning?
Caroline Start with Eliza Slotkin, who could not be plainer. She wants a registry of young Trump staffers and she says, we're going to
Steve Deace make examples of them. We're going to prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. And she said, why? Because she wants to deter any young person in America from ever serving in another Republican administration forever. That is possibly more totalitarian than Cuba and Venezuela. That is staggering. And it tells you where the Democrats are. They are absolutely not your grandfather's Democrats. They are absolutely captured by this red green alliance of pro Hamas, pro Karl Marx, totalitarians. And, okay, we just gave them Congress. The President can do a lot about that. The president, leads a co equal branch with lots of its own
Caroline constitutional powers that Congress can have relatively little impact on. But if you let them win in 28, we already saw the mass censorship under Biden. We already saw the 87,000 new IRS agents over all required to say that they were willing to shoot to kill. Why does an accountant need to be able to shoot to kill? That's not
Steve Deace an IRS function. That is Joe Biden's private army. And this is where they're headed. And they're telling you what they're going to do. They're going to destroy regular people, young people who have no money to lawyer up, as they keep saying, they want to destroy them so that they have no opposition. That's evil. That's communism, and that has to be stopped. So, of course they're in bed with Iran. Of course they see no moral distinction between the 47 years of Iran attacking Americans and its allies. 47 years of this. They see no distinction between us having a nuclear weapon and Iran having a nuclear weapon. You'll even hear them say sometimes, well, the Americans are the only country to ever use
Caroline an atomic bomb
Steve Deace in
Caroline a
Steve Deace war.
Caroline Well, yeah, World
Steve Deace War II,
Caroline when the
Steve Deace thing
Caroline was brand
Steve Deace new
Caroline and nobody
Steve Deace had
Caroline ever
Steve Deace figured out that that might be
Caroline a bad thing. And by
Steve Deace the
Caroline way, in
Steve Deace the context, it wasn't a bad thing.
Caroline This is Veterans Day, so let's make
Steve Deace sure
Caroline that's clear. But the point remains. They see moral equivalence. And the reason they want to preach moral equivalence to you, Rhyen, or to
Steve Deace any other listener here is not because they think we're on the same level with Iran. It's because they think
Caroline Iran
Steve Deace is more moral than the United States. Because
Caroline they see
Steve Deace America as the
Caroline oppressor
Steve Deace nation, the
Caroline ultimate enemy. They
Steve Deace must
Caroline tear it down, or
Steve Deace as
Caroline Obama said,
Steve Deace fundamentally
Caroline transform it, because America is evil. And they will tell you that in as many grad school
Steve Deace political science seminars as you
Caroline are willing to take, they could not be plainer about it. That's who we're fighting. These are those enemies, foreign and domestic, that
Steve Deace your
Caroline oath of
Steve Deace office
Caroline to serve in the United States government requires you to oppose. Not every one of them individually, but the ones who actually espouse this totalitarian approach to leading country into ruin.
Steve Deace And we have to stop them.
Ryan Helfenbein You know, it's interesting how quickly, many people forget that the entire nuclear deal that Obama did with Iran was, a complete failure. It didn't stop them from developing missiles, ballistic missiles, intercontinental ballistic missiles, drones, of course, Sponsoring terror, but then uranium enrichment. And he sent cash over there. 1.7 billion in cash. And, they want to run the same playbook all over again. This is exactly what Abdul said ran on, what many of the Democrats still, believe fundamentally is. And you're exactly right, this oppressor, oppressed distinction, which comes right out of Karl Marx's playbook. They really do believe, that Iran is more moral than the United States. That is complete insanity. And so my question to you, given that the walls are closing in, I love what you just said, though, that the executive branch is its own authority. Yes, there's checks and balances, but there's a lot that the president can do in the next two years as President of the United States. So what should he do when it comes to Iran? he has said on 60 Minutes he understands it's unpopular. He said, also, if I had to do it all over again, I would absolutely do the same thing because Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
Caroline Well, first, let's connect a couple dots.
Martin Defends Iran Action Citing Marxism Missiles And Nuclear Threat
It is important for people to understand that they're getting marinated in Marxism all the time. But it never calls itself Marxism. It calls itself critical race theory. It calls itself queer theory. It calls itself radical feminism. It calls itself, by all of the subsets of something called critical theory, which has, as a corollary, intersectionality. Intersectionality is this idea of oppressor, oppressed. And there's a scale. So if you're a white woman, you're oppressed by white men, but if you're a black woman, you're actually oppressed by white women. And if you're, a black lesbian, you're oppressed by black women. And so on it goes until you have all these little microscopic groups that can't possibly fight on their own, feel completely alienated, and ultimately are susceptible. Susceptible to being enraged and thus manipulated into revolution. That kind of
Steve Deace Marxism has worked in America. That's what we were fighting for several years in the Southern Baptist Convention. This idea
Caroline of
Steve Deace critical theory and intersectionality, that's the mechanism by which the left has brought this home to America. And in that context, Muslims are necessarily oppressed
Caroline because we've already
Steve Deace defined the oppressor.
Caroline You.
Steve Deace There's
Caroline no,
Steve Deace you're the oppressor. Therefore, everybody else is oppressed, and you have to be destroyed. Okay, so in that context, it makes perfect sense, once again, for them to side with Iran. But the President is exactly right. And that's the second point. The President is correct. The intelligence was very clear. Jon Kennedy was talking about this the other day, but Marco Rubio was talking about this three days into the war. They were building all these missiles you were talking
Caroline about. They had already completed medium range ballistic missiles
Steve Deace with
Caroline a range capable of hitting, you know,
Steve Deace because we know,
Caroline because they shot them
Steve Deace at
Caroline us at Diego Garcia. But that means they had enough range to hit Berlin or Paris or London. Okay. If you have enough of those missiles, what it means is that no missile defense can shoot them all down. So, you know, and the expense comparison is crazy. You can build their offensive missiles a lot cheaper than we can build fancy interceptors with advanced software and all kinds of stuff to be able to shoot these things out of the sky, kind of hitting a bullet with a bullet, much, much easier for them to do their thing. And if they build enough missiles and just overwhelm all possible defenses, that's what was happening. And if
Steve Deace you have a missile that can hit from Iran, London, you are a half step
Caroline from
Steve Deace a missile that can hit NewSong York or Kansas City or Los Angeles.
Caroline And
Steve Deace now you put a nuclear weapon
Caroline on it. no, absolutely not. And the Iranians are run by a regime that believes in. They are a sect of, a sect of Islam. These Twelvers, they
Steve Deace are called, who believe that it is their religious duty to bring about the return of their Messiah, called the twelfth Imam. It's their duty to bring that about by burning down the world. That's their teaching. You can't let these people have a nuclear weapon. It's insane. You might as well hand one to Jeffrey Dahmer. It's just stupid. But the Democrats did everything they could to enable the Iranians to advance their nuclear and their ballistic missile program. And on top of that, as you said, Obama handed them, a couple billion dollars in hundred dollar bills flown into Tehran, which of course they then passed out to all of their surrogate armies. Hezbollah, the Houthis, the Shia militias in Iraq. Every armed conflict in the Middle east is armed, directed or funded by Tehran and therefore indirectly by Barack Obama. And that's why the president had to act. You have to nip that before it gets unnipable and you have to cut off the head of the snake if you're going to get to peace in any part of the Middle East. That's what he's doing. He was right to do it. And yeah, I'm so proud of him for saying, and I'd do it all again.
Guest Urges Defense Funding And Continued Resolve Against Iran
Ryan Helfenbein Yeah, I'm looking at all of this. And of course, it was Abdul Said and others have said it. They want to Fundamentally change our relationship with Israel, with the uae, with Saudi Arabia, diminish those relationships. Also with Jordan, sending no more money to Jordan, by the way. It's a paltry amount. It's not that big. we do not send that much money to, Israel. And those are basically vouchers because they buy back with that money and more, military weapons and all kinds of defense, systems, from the United States, supplying us actually with more jobs. Democrats want to fundamentally change all of that and look to Iran as a possible friend, a peaceful ally. this is absolutely nuts. And so just even in the last two minutes, if you were to speak, to the ear of the president, and I know the president has, a backbone, I know the president has been bullish on this, what would you say, even with the midterms and the panic ins, of course there are many Republicans who are gonna wanna ease down the tension here. but the reality is that you cannot just at this exact moment say, okay, I guess we're just completely done with all of this. There's a naval blockade. There's some things that we have to resolve in that region. What would you say?
Steve Deace Look, the president's the commander in chief. He's got plenty of funding to do what he needs to do. we need to ensure that continues by passing the National Defense Authorization act in the lame
Caroline ducks session right now. So call your congressman and your senator, make sure they do their job. And not just that, but the supplemental and the reconciliation bill, all three of them have to be passed. But the president has the power to continue this, and he must, and it should be beyond politics. This is the safety of every American at stake, full stop. And
Steve Deace if the Democrats want to empower enemies of America to destroy America because that advances, their fantasy of revolution here at home, the bloodbath that will follow from that is simply incalculable. We have to win and we will. And this president, by appointing Steven Miller, just as one example is, is making it very clear he's going to finish what he started.
Ryan Helfenbein Yeah, absolutely. And, I look at Steven Miller and I know many conservatives are saying, hey, there is a bulldog there. He's very sharp, he's sophisticated. he has backbone. That's what we need. When we come back, we're going to turn to China and the investigation surrounding Nvidia's CEO, the security of America's technological advantage, and Canada's effort to build closer ties with Beijing. You're listening to Jenna Ellis in the morning. We'll Be right back, Rod. Stay with us.

China Spy Concerns Prompt Discussion Of Nvidia And Personal Fidelity
I am, speaking with Rod Martin. and Rod, I, you know, we've been discussing Iran, and I don't want to forget about China. China's back in the news, of course, because, it was revealed this last week that CEO Jensen Huang had an affair with a Chinese businesswoman alleged to have ties with Chinese intelligence. Huang acknowledged that affair. but this is all being investigated now, as to whether this is an actual spy. Worth remembering, that book, written by two Chinese colonels. Unrestricted warfare. We've been in a secret war with China for decades now. but there are many in this country and elsewhere in the Western world that all of a sudden believe that China is trustworthy and we should trust the Chinese Communist Party. it's absolutely crazy. I go back to what happened, during the first term of President Trump. It was the Chinese consulate in Houston, Texas, that was shut down, running basically secret overseas police stations. This was at the time. Then Secretary of State Mike Pompeo cracked down on that. but, we cannot forget, they are next to Iran. one of the greatest threats, of course, a client state, of China. Iran is, we Cannot forget about China and all of this. you've written a lot in your book, about, the global order of things. What are your thoughts on this?
Steve Deace Well, yes, there's an entire section of the new book, Trump's NewSong World Reorder, which is in stores now, and everybody should go buy it. Trump's NewSong World Reorder makes great Christmas gifts. There's an entire section in the book called All Trump's Roads Lead to China. And it's just plain as day. Look, everything he's doing is organized around containing Chinese aggression to prevent them from starting the next world war. They are an aggressive power. Their tentacles are everywhere, as you have just described, and they're truly horrendous. I mean, this is a country that killed 65 million of its own people in the 20th century. It has an ongoing genocide in Xinjiang against the Uyghurs right now against Falun Gong practitioners and Christians. They're actually engaging in live organ harvesting. They will torture you for your beliefs by taking your organs out of your body without anesthetic. So you're watching them do it and screaming in pain. These are not nice people. These are Communists, just like the other Communists we're talking about. And, yes, the Communists here are in bed with the Communists there. So, yeah, I look at Jensen, I doubt very much I agree with the President. I don't think Jensen Huang knew that he was sleeping with a Chinese spy. But I'm going to say here what I said on several, networks that aren't called Family Radio. I'm going to say the same thing, which is, dude, don't cheat on your wife. You wouldn't have been sleeping with a Chinese spy if you hadn't been sleeping with anybody but your wife. This is just nonsense. What kind of fool does this? And of course, we know. We know what Ben Franklin said about sin. Sin is not harmful because it's forbidden. Sin is forbidden because it's harmful. And you may think you're getting away with stuff. Maybe you don't think you're the kind of person that somebody would target for something. But the truth is, if somebody is tempting you to cheat on your spouse, they're up to something terrible and it's going to hurt people if only you and that person. So there is a fundamental Christian morality aspect to this story that must be stressed, because you may not have a Chinese spy trying to sleep with you, but there's probably somebody who would like to, and you shouldn't let them be faithful. Everything in the world is better if you're just faithful.
Ryan Helfenbein Amen. Amen.
Canada China Outreach Sparks Debate Over Sovereignty And Globalism
So well said. And I, would just say it's interesting, you know, in all of this, why Nvidia? And when you think about the data centers, Nvidia, by the way, is worth trillions of dollars. Now. It's a crucial biggest company in
Steve Deace the world.
Ryan Helfenbein yes, biggest company in the world. it's a huge target. when you think about the polarities of power that are at play, so much goes back to Nvidia. and so I think this is largely why it happened. But, fundamentally, you're absolutely right. Fundamentally, sin is dangerous, it's harmful, it'll destroy. M. The, devil comes to steal, kill and destroy. Christ came to give us life and to give it abundantly. And we have to remember that. but what's interesting is that you look at the size of Nvidia. It's larger than the total size of the Canadian economy. Prime Minister Mark Carney, is now seeking closer economic ties with China and reducing its dependence on the United States, the largest trading partner of Canada. And, according to their own government, nearly three quarters of merchandise exports go to the United States. But yesterday, Prime Minister Carney also said he would raise, Chinese interference in Canadian affairs. He talks about wanting to change the relationship with that government and saying that essentially that United States is more harmful, to Canada. Go ahead and play the clip, guys.
Mark Carney Yes, I will be meeting with President Xi Jinping next week at apec. we will discuss many things. We'll discuss security situation, around the
Mark Wayne Mullin world.
Mark Carney We'll discuss our economic partnership, which is, is something that, is deepening, but has clear guardrails in terms of the areas in which we're involved. And I didn't say this in French, but I'll add this, in terms of the security risks of our
Jenna Ellis partnership, they are much, much, much, much less than the security risk,
Mark Carney for example, of the
Jenna Ellis United States.
Ryan Helfenbein Much less than the security risks of the United States. And by the way, he, didn't say it in French because it would have been stronger in French. I have no idea. Rod, your thoughts on all of this?
Steve Deace Well, it's just mind numbingly stupid. we have been close allies with Canada since 1949 through NATO. We have integrated continental air defenses through NORAD, which has been the case, since almost that time. We were allies in World War II. We were allies in World War I. We've had the longest undefended border in the world for nearly two centuries. And he thinks the security risks from the United States are bad. He's lying. He doesn't believe that. He admitted when he walked away from the trade deal with President Trump that the President had just offered him the best trade deal ever offered to any country by any president. He admitted it, okay? Those are his words. This is ridiculous. And it's ridiculous, but with reason. Mark Carney is a socialist, so on that level, he has an affinity for China and a hatred for the United States. Second, Mark Carney is a globalist. He is the citizen of three different countries. His last job was not governor of the bank of Canada. No, no. His last job was governor of the bank of England, where he worked to oppose Brexit. Because what he wants is for, ah. He wants Canada also to be part of the eu, where everyone is ruled by a technocratic elite that doesn't have to answer to an election. That's the goal. So when you look at all these guys, it doesn't matter if you're talking about the mullahs in Tehran, the communists in Beijing, or, or the socialists in Ottawa. They all have the same agenda, which is to rule you and not have to answer to an election. It implements differently. It looks a little different on the ground, but they all share that. And the only thing in the world preventing that from being the norm is the existence and power of the United States. That's why we're the target. That's why we will continue to be the target. And we have to win.
Immigration And National Identity Debate Extends From Canada To Texas
Ryan Helfenbein Yeah, we have to win. And I love how, you put it. I mean, it's so important for people to see the plot here. it really comes down to being ruled by communists, being ruled by globalists, or being ruled by American citizens. We the people. And that is really what's at stake in our America first policy. And, and I would just say if I lived in Canada and I'm a Canadian citizen, I would want to have a Canada first policy. every nation must fight for its own sovereignty, its own national self interest. They must promote the sovereignty of their own nation and the interests of their people. But that is not the interest of globalism. And I think in many ways we have been conditioned as Americans, and I'd say many of the conservatives have been conditioned this way to think internationally, globally. I would say one of the problems even in the identity of the Republican Party, and I'm not talking about President Trump, but the managerial class, of those that ran Texas for such a long time, that are finding themselves out of office, they are not Seeing themselves as Texans, as Americans, they were not putting the priorities of Texans first. The Chamber of Commerce only wanted growth, growth, growth, and they didn't care where it came from. That's why they didn't care about immigration. That's why they didn't care about H1BS. They didn't care about any of that as long as GDP was continuing to grow. And by the way, I love GDP growing. I want the free market, to thrive and to prosper in the United States. We all do. But we have to also look at how we are achieving those numbers. And this entire replacement strategy where we kill a million American babies and then just replace them from whoever, from wherever, around the world, that strategy does not work. And globalism is just as much a threat as well as, complete and total communist takeover. And I think that's exactly why Western Europe is, in flames right now, is because the globalist agenda had opened up their borders to let anyone in.
Steve Deace Well, but Rhyen, let's be clear. That agenda is working for the socialists. That's the case in Canada. Victor Davis Hanson keeps pointing out 45% of everyone who lives in Canada is either foreign born or the child of someone who is foreign born. 45%. Nearly half the country. We are within just a couple years of the majority of Canadians being from somewhere else all at once. Now, we're an immigrant nation. We have people from everywhere. Everybody came from somewhere else. Heck, even the Nez Perce and the Cherokee came from somewhere else originally. So, you know, we're for that. But when you import an entire body of foreigners who don't share your country's values and don't have a shared collective, attachment to your country, well, that's perfect for the globalist socialists to manipulate into the form of government they want and not the form of government you had. That's what the Biden team was doing. Letting 10 million illegal aliens in and just four years, and thank God, the president's about to be rid of half of those in under two years. So we're doing a great job on that front. But this is the scam, and it's got to be stopped. It's absolutely essential. You're not loving your neighbor by letting them commit criminal acts. You are not loving your neighbor by letting them be human trafficked by cartels. And here's one American family radio listeners need to understand more people. We're talking about women and children being sex slaves. We call that human trafficking. More people were human trafficked into the United States just in the Biden years than the total number of Africans who were enslaved and brought to America over three centuries. Think about that number. That's what the Democrats did. They knew they were doing it and they refused to enforce it. And when we got a good movie about a hero who actually stopped a human trafficking ring, the Sound of Freedom, all of the liberal media united in pooh ing it and calling human trafficking a right wing conspiracy theory. They don't care about these people. They care about their power. And if human trafficking is the price, if killing a million babies a year is the price, if post birth abortion is the price, if making a hero of Lindsey Clancy is the price, and yes, in Canada, they now killed more people through their so called health care system through their euthanasia program. Now they can legally kill people without their consent. In Canada, they kill more people legally than are killed in the United States by gunshot wounds. This is horrifying. That's where the world is headed if we don't stop it. And by the way, in Texas, you're exactly right. The Republican leadership should be ashamed. We in Florida won. And Texas should immediately recruit Brian Hughes to run for governor.
Ryan Helfenbein Absolutely, Rod.

Host Opens Veterans Day Broadcast With Gratitude For Service
Jenna Ellis I love talking about the things of God. Because of truth and the biblical worldview. The U.S. constitution obligates our government to preserve and protect the rights that our founders recognize come from God our creator, not our government. I believe that scripture in the Bible is very clear that God is the one that raised up each of you and God has allowed us to be brought here to this specific moment in time.
Jenna Ellis This is Jenna Ellis in the Morning.
Ryan Helfenbein Good morning. It's Wednesday, November 11th. Welcome to Jenna Ellis in the Morning. I'm Rhyen Helfenbein filling in for Jenna while she's on vacation. Today is Veterans Day, folks. And to the men and women who serve our country in uniform and to the families who serve alongside them, I just want to say thank you. We are so grateful for your sacrifice. It's a good reminder that freedom is never free. It comes at the highest price. And while ideas are debated in Washington and while I know that many are frustrated by the outcome of this election, we must always remember the people who serve and defend this nation in uniform. So I just want to say thank you to all of our veterans. Thank you for supporting this program.
Congressional Leadership Changes And Senate Deadlines Shape Republican Agenda
Yesterday, the House halted Thomas Masky's effort to move forward with impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, referring to the resolution Committee instead. And House Republicans also elected Jim Jordan as their next leader. Jordan defeated Steve, Scalise to succeed him, while Mike Johnson has stepped away, from leadership, after three years serving as speaker of the House to spend more time with with his family. In the Senate, however, Republicans kept Jon Thune. Some Republican members of Congress wanted to delay the decision until the conference had a serious discussion about the election losses and what Republicans would accomplish before January. But the clock is ticking. No one stepped up to challenge Thune for leadership. Thune is now still the leader of the Senate Republicans. He'll be the leader for the next two years. Thune has refused to eliminate the legislative filibuster, which, by the way, was not added until 1806 as a procedure in the Senate. It's not found in our Constitution. And many say that this is the first thing Democrats will break when they have a clear line to do so, whether that comes before 2028 or after. Thune, of course, failed to advance the Save America act before the election, which would have ensured voter ID across this nation in federal elections, protecting against the disenfranchisement of American citizens in blue states where voter ID laws are not in place. Now, Republicans have about seven weeks left to pass reconciliation that does not require 60 votes. Some Senate Republicans are asking why the party is not moving faster to replenish military stockpiles and finish its remaining agenda in this term. The government funding deadline is December 11th, one month from today. The new Congress begins on January 3rd. They also have to complete the fiscal year 2027 defense authorization. All of this is critical before Democrats take over Congress.
Immigration Debate Raises Questions About DACA And Republican Commitments
But the subject of immigration is still front and center. And according to many exit polls, this was an issue that Republicans were pleased with and also what Democrats hated the most, next to Iran and their claim on affordability. Yes, it's a major issue among voters. And last night, Homeland, Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullins joined Laura Ingram and said there would be zero change in immigration policy. He said amnesty would never be on the table. But that assurance comes after he raised the possibility of Congress considering permanent legal status for DACA recipients. People brought into this country illegally as children who qualify for the program. Let's go ahead and play the clip.
Laura Ingraham Seems like every time Republicans feel like they're running into a rough spot, they rush to some type of immigration deal with a party that you yourself have said has no interest in lowering immigration, legal immigration, or enforcing the laws as they exist. So why would any idea be floated to work with the Democrats on an issue that is their holy grail as well?
Mark Wayne Mullin Well, I think it depends on what you're talking about. If they want to talk about making people that enter this country here illegally legal, that's a non starter. If they want to talk about how do we reform amnesty and how the port of entries work, they want to talk about why does your
Laura Ingraham flow DACA, Mr. Secretary, why is that the message for you guys of election?
Mark Wayne Mullin I mean, daca, has daca, applies to children that were brought in this country no fault of their own. They were bs, but they were brought here no fault of their own. And some of them may not even speak English or never even lived in their country. I think there's, there's a part that we could look to say, listen, you're not going to become citizens because you wasn't born here, but is there a path for you to be legal? I know that's it's a very far fetch because the President tried to do this in 2016. The Democrats weren't interested in doing it. So. But before we even consider doing any of that, we're going to make sure that one, our base is with us on it. They're not with you. And so, and if they're not with. I'm just saying this and I'm going to tell you, the President, the president will not sign anything that isn't in the, isn't in the right movement for this country and the Republican Party.
Laura Ingraham The problem is, even if there was some deal that you could kind of say, oh, maybe we'll get that for that, and that kind of would seem good. Problem is you're not going to be in office maybe in two years or four years or six
Ryan Helfenbein years.
Guest Outlines Three Possible Motives Behind Trump Immigration Signals
Joining me now is Steve Dase, host of the Steve Dase Show. Steve, good morning. What are your thoughts about all of this?
Steve Deace I think that, you know, you go back to what the president said on 60 Minutes Sunday night, and I told my audience the next day, I'm going to be able to tell you a lot, about what we're going to be saying, at this time two years from now after the 2028 election, based on what this clip is about and the President. The reason why we're up here and discussing it is because the president introduced this voluntarily, in his 60 Minutes interview, last Sunday night. He, even described people who want the mass deportations he promised and ran successfully on in 2020. He described them as far right. So the president ran on deporting 20 million people in 2024. He ran successfully on that and ended up winning, the Latino men vote by 10 points. So why open up this front? I think that was a great question by Laura. I think that there are three reasons. the first, is the President really means it, and if he follows through with it, then, you know, we're going to lose in 2028, and your audience can all fight. And you know, my home state here where I'm at, we can all fight over Vance Rubio and Desantis. I mean, I would tell them all, don't even run. You're all losing. All right? And because you're going to see a, a repeat of 1992 with no new taxes, you break covenant like that with your base. we'll have, if Anything. Somebody like Tucker will run independent like Ross Perot did, get 5, 6, 7, 8% just like Ross got 19. You know, Ross did this by running kind of as a third party on the economy. Somebody will run third party on immigration and our heritage. And, that person, you know, will get 7, 8, 9%. And it's all going to be millennial men and Gen Z men, who. Immigration is the number one issue. So that's possibility number one. Possibility number two is I think, the most likely because he just named Steven Miller the OG immigration warrior, his chief of staff is this is an attempt by the President to bait Democrats into showing they're not going to make any reasonable deals on anything. The President just lost and Republicans did nationwide independence 2 to 1 across the country. And so this is to show Democrats really don't care about affordability. it's a chance to essentially entrap them in a corner. And they're already going to demonstrate this. They're already talking Medicare for all and teach everybody the word affordability has barely been brought up since last Tuesday night. Right. And so you put them in a corner to show these aren't the, these aren't new Democrats, the same ones you rejected many, many times in the past. And you start planting that seed right now of defining them as successfully defining them as radicals, so that you can then successfully run against that in two years. And if the President does that and pulls that off Rhyen, then I would tell all those guys, everybody wants to fight over all of you. Run. Because if he pulls that off, we're going to win in 2028. Okay. There's a third option though that I think has to be considered. the President doesn't want to be impeached and removed from office. There is a real threat of this right now. Democrats, depending on what happens in Alaska, need 10 U.S. senators to remove the President. There's, at least, or 10 Republican senators. There's at least two, I can just say off the top of my head, Jon Curtis in Utah, Lisa Murkowski in Alaska, at least two that would vote that way right away. We have two situations. One in Kentucky with the incapacitated Mitch McConnell, one in my home state of Iowa, the 93 year old Charles Grassley, where they could succumb to father time and a Democrat appoints, their successor and you flip those two seats and now you're at four. And if you get to four, there's about 10 or 15 other Republican senators that would love to vote to remove Trump, but just don't think they're safe to do it. But if it looked like it was close enough and there was a critical mass, maybe they could excuse doing it. And I, and I. One thing that all those senators, those Republican senators, the president is worried about voting against him all have in common is they're all amnesty pimps, every last one of them. So this could be, an attempt to, you know, as an olive branch. Is this the deal I have to cut to save my own presidency so I don't go down with the ultimate black mark in history? Because we all know the president cares greatly about legacy and how he'll be remembered. He talks about it constantly. It's, it's part of his own sort of heterodoxical theology or sodorology maybe is a more specific way of putting it. So one of those three options are on the table. It's Donald Trump. So it could be one of those options today and another one of those options again in a few weeks and another one of those options again next year. But one of those three options are what's going to play out over the next two years. Ryan. And if the middle one is the one, that's the one I think he's utilizing, but if the middle one is the one that this is the ultimate outcome, then he'll have successfully, reinvigorated his presidency and rebranded Democrats as too radical to govern. And we've got a real chance to win again in 28. But if it's one of the other two options, then, our chances of winning in 28 are greatly diminished.
Ryan Helfenbein Well, I got to go back and I agree with your assessment. That's right.
Texas Republican Politics Reveal Tensions Between Managers And Voters
On, that 2024 ill fated border bill, that came together with James Lankford, Kyrsten Sinema, Krish Murphy, this was that famous 5,000 a day rule, that they put in there, wildly unpopular. it was dead on arrival. Republicans hate this. and it's always interesting to me, it's the, sometimes the deep red states, that produce the most moderate Republican candidates, like Oklahoma. but you look at this and I think Republicans are not only thinking about, obviously about the pressure on Trump, but they're thinking at, they're looking at the map. They're looking at 40 electoral votes, in Texas. And they're wondering, will we win in Texas again? 40% of Texas is now Latino. And they're all scratching their head and thinking, how did Greg Abbott lose? We know, we know why Ken Paxton, we think lost. but they're not getting the message. And they're looking at South Carolina now. Yeah, go ahead.
Steve Deace Texas, to me is a unique situation, because the Democrats ran a candidate in Texas differently than what they ran in many of these other states like Mississippi and South Carolina, where they're going to pull upsets, it looks like, in Mississippi as well, Texas is its own thing. What you have in Texas is Jon Thune has been running the Republican Party of Texas or a construct like him for decades. It's all managerialism. Yeah, it's all managerialism. There's nothing, there's nothing really, ah, principled, and, ah, Texas, there was a joke for several years. If you want to know what Greg Abbott's going to probably end up having to do just in a few weeks or months, just see what Ron DeSantis is doing in Florida right now. All right.
Ryan Helfenbein Right. That's right. Yep.
Steve Deace And so these guys have all just been managers and Texas, all Texans care about is making the trains run on time. And, underneath them was building as they were importing all these young voters from California and other places, was because it was just about money and materialism. Underneath them was building a counterculture. Talarico won specifically because of the brand of Christianity he preached. And so he built a new Democratic Party. And Texas is going to be something that has to confront uniquely on its own.
Ryan Helfenbein Yeah, I 100% agree. We've got to steal the spine of Texas Republicans. This is important, folks. You are listening to Jenna Ellis in the Morning. We will be right back at after this break.

Iran Conflict And Congressman’s Refusal To Label Iran Adversary
Lots to talk about what is next in Iran, even as gas prices tumble, just as President Trump said they would. The President also said earlier this week that if he had to do it all over again, he would have done the same thing in Iran. Because Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Since the Iranian Revolution of 1979 causing the Shah of Iran to flee, Americans were taken hostage during the Carter years. One of the biggest embarrassments during his time as president, those hostages were Released, by the way, when Reagan took office, the hostage crisis was not the end of that confrontation. It was the beginning of a relationship defined by deep hostility. And, since 1979, folks, there have been over 66,000 terrorist attacks worldwide, over 250,000 lives that have been lost. And one of the leading sponsors of state terrorism, of course, is in Iran. I don't have to remind anyone of that. But yesterday, Democratic Congressman elect Adam, Hammawi of NewSong Jersey appeared on cnn. Pamela Brown repeatedly asked whether he considered Iran an adversary of the United States, and he declined to give a direct yes or no answer. Let's play the clip.
Pamela Brown Do you see Iran as the adversary?
Caroline I see, we pushed them into a fight. And so I think we both have to step back and say, is this helping either one of us?
Pamela Brown Are they the adversary
Caroline there? We're making adversaries when we should be making.
Pamela Brown They've been saying death to America for decades.
Caroline We've been saying death to Iran for decades as well. And so what we need to do is use diplomacy.
Pamela Brown They've killed a lot of Americans and
Caroline we've killed a lot of them as well. So
Pamela Brown you, so you don't see Iran as an adversary? I
Caroline see that we are pushing Iran into a fight when we have the leverage to kind of bring them to the table. And we did that during the Obama administration. And we could do that again if we use, you know, diplomacy, our leverage, our both economic, not just military power, to create friends in the region to pressure them as well, and to bring peace to the region if we want to.
Guest Condemns Democrats And Argues Against Iran Nuclear Concessions
Ryan Helfenbein Here to react this morning is my good friend Rod Martin. He's the founder and CEO of Martin Capital and the Rod Martin Report. He's also author of the brand new book Trump's NewSong World Dismantling the Deep State and Ending Post War Globalist Rule. Rod, welcome to the program. What are your thoughts this morning?
Caroline Start with Eliza Slotkin, who could not be plainer. She wants a registry of young Trump staffers and she says, we're going to
Steve Deace make examples of them. We're going to prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. And she said, why? Because she wants to deter any young person in America from ever serving in another Republican administration forever. That is possibly more totalitarian than Cuba and Venezuela. That is staggering. And it tells you where the Democrats are. They are absolutely not your grandfather's Democrats. They are absolutely captured by this red green alliance of pro Hamas, pro Karl Marx, totalitarians. And, okay, we just gave them Congress. The President can do a lot about that. The president, leads a co equal branch with lots of its own
Caroline constitutional powers that Congress can have relatively little impact on. But if you let them win in 28, we already saw the mass censorship under Biden. We already saw the 87,000 new IRS agents over all required to say that they were willing to shoot to kill. Why does an accountant need to be able to shoot to kill? That's not
Steve Deace an IRS function. That is Joe Biden's private army. And this is where they're headed. And they're telling you what they're going to do. They're going to destroy regular people, young people who have no money to lawyer up, as they keep saying, they want to destroy them so that they have no opposition. That's evil. That's communism, and that has to be stopped. So, of course they're in bed with Iran. Of course they see no moral distinction between the 47 years of Iran attacking Americans and its allies. 47 years of this. They see no distinction between us having a nuclear weapon and Iran having a nuclear weapon. You'll even hear them say sometimes, well, the Americans are the only country to ever use
Caroline an atomic bomb
Steve Deace in
Caroline a
Steve Deace war.
Caroline Well, yeah, World
Steve Deace War II,
Caroline when the
Steve Deace thing
Caroline was brand
Steve Deace new
Caroline and nobody
Steve Deace had
Caroline ever
Steve Deace figured out that that might be
Caroline a bad thing. And by
Steve Deace the
Caroline way, in
Steve Deace the context, it wasn't a bad thing.
Caroline This is Veterans Day, so let's make
Steve Deace sure
Caroline that's clear. But the point remains. They see moral equivalence. And the reason they want to preach moral equivalence to you, Rhyen, or to
Steve Deace any other listener here is not because they think we're on the same level with Iran. It's because they think
Caroline Iran
Steve Deace is more moral than the United States. Because
Caroline they see
Steve Deace America as the
Caroline oppressor
Steve Deace nation, the
Caroline ultimate enemy. They
Steve Deace must
Caroline tear it down, or
Steve Deace as
Caroline Obama said,
Steve Deace fundamentally
Caroline transform it, because America is evil. And they will tell you that in as many grad school
Steve Deace political science seminars as you
Caroline are willing to take, they could not be plainer about it. That's who we're fighting. These are those enemies, foreign and domestic, that
Steve Deace your
Caroline oath of
Steve Deace office
Caroline to serve in the United States government requires you to oppose. Not every one of them individually, but the ones who actually espouse this totalitarian approach to leading country into ruin.
Steve Deace And we have to stop them.
Ryan Helfenbein You know, it's interesting how quickly, many people forget that the entire nuclear deal that Obama did with Iran was, a complete failure. It didn't stop them from developing missiles, ballistic missiles, intercontinental ballistic missiles, drones, of course, Sponsoring terror, but then uranium enrichment. And he sent cash over there. 1.7 billion in cash. And, they want to run the same playbook all over again. This is exactly what Abdul said ran on, what many of the Democrats still, believe fundamentally is. And you're exactly right, this oppressor, oppressed distinction, which comes right out of Karl Marx's playbook. They really do believe, that Iran is more moral than the United States. That is complete insanity. And so my question to you, given that the walls are closing in, I love what you just said, though, that the executive branch is its own authority. Yes, there's checks and balances, but there's a lot that the president can do in the next two years as President of the United States. So what should he do when it comes to Iran? he has said on 60 Minutes he understands it's unpopular. He said, also, if I had to do it all over again, I would absolutely do the same thing because Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
Caroline Well, first, let's connect a couple dots.
Martin Defends Iran Action Citing Marxism Missiles And Nuclear Threat
It is important for people to understand that they're getting marinated in Marxism all the time. But it never calls itself Marxism. It calls itself critical race theory. It calls itself queer theory. It calls itself radical feminism. It calls itself, by all of the subsets of something called critical theory, which has, as a corollary, intersectionality. Intersectionality is this idea of oppressor, oppressed. And there's a scale. So if you're a white woman, you're oppressed by white men, but if you're a black woman, you're actually oppressed by white women. And if you're, a black lesbian, you're oppressed by black women. And so on it goes until you have all these little microscopic groups that can't possibly fight on their own, feel completely alienated, and ultimately are susceptible. Susceptible to being enraged and thus manipulated into revolution. That kind of
Steve Deace Marxism has worked in America. That's what we were fighting for several years in the Southern Baptist Convention. This idea
Caroline of
Steve Deace critical theory and intersectionality, that's the mechanism by which the left has brought this home to America. And in that context, Muslims are necessarily oppressed
Caroline because we've already
Steve Deace defined the oppressor.
Caroline You.
Steve Deace There's
Caroline no,
Steve Deace you're the oppressor. Therefore, everybody else is oppressed, and you have to be destroyed. Okay, so in that context, it makes perfect sense, once again, for them to side with Iran. But the President is exactly right. And that's the second point. The President is correct. The intelligence was very clear. Jon Kennedy was talking about this the other day, but Marco Rubio was talking about this three days into the war. They were building all these missiles you were talking
Caroline about. They had already completed medium range ballistic missiles
Steve Deace with
Caroline a range capable of hitting, you know,
Steve Deace because we know,
Caroline because they shot them
Steve Deace at
Caroline us at Diego Garcia. But that means they had enough range to hit Berlin or Paris or London. Okay. If you have enough of those missiles, what it means is that no missile defense can shoot them all down. So, you know, and the expense comparison is crazy. You can build their offensive missiles a lot cheaper than we can build fancy interceptors with advanced software and all kinds of stuff to be able to shoot these things out of the sky, kind of hitting a bullet with a bullet, much, much easier for them to do their thing. And if they build enough missiles and just overwhelm all possible defenses, that's what was happening. And if
Steve Deace you have a missile that can hit from Iran, London, you are a half step
Caroline from
Steve Deace a missile that can hit NewSong York or Kansas City or Los Angeles.
Caroline And
Steve Deace now you put a nuclear weapon
Caroline on it. no, absolutely not. And the Iranians are run by a regime that believes in. They are a sect of, a sect of Islam. These Twelvers, they
Steve Deace are called, who believe that it is their religious duty to bring about the return of their Messiah, called the twelfth Imam. It's their duty to bring that about by burning down the world. That's their teaching. You can't let these people have a nuclear weapon. It's insane. You might as well hand one to Jeffrey Dahmer. It's just stupid. But the Democrats did everything they could to enable the Iranians to advance their nuclear and their ballistic missile program. And on top of that, as you said, Obama handed them, a couple billion dollars in hundred dollar bills flown into Tehran, which of course they then passed out to all of their surrogate armies. Hezbollah, the Houthis, the Shia militias in Iraq. Every armed conflict in the Middle east is armed, directed or funded by Tehran and therefore indirectly by Barack Obama. And that's why the president had to act. You have to nip that before it gets unnipable and you have to cut off the head of the snake if you're going to get to peace in any part of the Middle East. That's what he's doing. He was right to do it. And yeah, I'm so proud of him for saying, and I'd do it all again.
Guest Urges Defense Funding And Continued Resolve Against Iran
Ryan Helfenbein Yeah, I'm looking at all of this. And of course, it was Abdul Said and others have said it. They want to Fundamentally change our relationship with Israel, with the uae, with Saudi Arabia, diminish those relationships. Also with Jordan, sending no more money to Jordan, by the way. It's a paltry amount. It's not that big. we do not send that much money to, Israel. And those are basically vouchers because they buy back with that money and more, military weapons and all kinds of defense, systems, from the United States, supplying us actually with more jobs. Democrats want to fundamentally change all of that and look to Iran as a possible friend, a peaceful ally. this is absolutely nuts. And so just even in the last two minutes, if you were to speak, to the ear of the president, and I know the president has, a backbone, I know the president has been bullish on this, what would you say, even with the midterms and the panic ins, of course there are many Republicans who are gonna wanna ease down the tension here. but the reality is that you cannot just at this exact moment say, okay, I guess we're just completely done with all of this. There's a naval blockade. There's some things that we have to resolve in that region. What would you say?
Steve Deace Look, the president's the commander in chief. He's got plenty of funding to do what he needs to do. we need to ensure that continues by passing the National Defense Authorization act in the lame
Caroline ducks session right now. So call your congressman and your senator, make sure they do their job. And not just that, but the supplemental and the reconciliation bill, all three of them have to be passed. But the president has the power to continue this, and he must, and it should be beyond politics. This is the safety of every American at stake, full stop. And
Steve Deace if the Democrats want to empower enemies of America to destroy America because that advances, their fantasy of revolution here at home, the bloodbath that will follow from that is simply incalculable. We have to win and we will. And this president, by appointing Steven Miller, just as one example is, is making it very clear he's going to finish what he started.
Ryan Helfenbein Yeah, absolutely. And, I look at Steven Miller and I know many conservatives are saying, hey, there is a bulldog there. He's very sharp, he's sophisticated. he has backbone. That's what we need. When we come back, we're going to turn to China and the investigation surrounding Nvidia's CEO, the security of America's technological advantage, and Canada's effort to build closer ties with Beijing. You're listening to Jenna Ellis in the morning. We'll Be right back, Rod. Stay with us.

China Spy Concerns Prompt Discussion Of Nvidia And Personal Fidelity
I am, speaking with Rod Martin. and Rod, I, you know, we've been discussing Iran, and I don't want to forget about China. China's back in the news, of course, because, it was revealed this last week that CEO Jensen Huang had an affair with a Chinese businesswoman alleged to have ties with Chinese intelligence. Huang acknowledged that affair. but this is all being investigated now, as to whether this is an actual spy. Worth remembering, that book, written by two Chinese colonels. Unrestricted warfare. We've been in a secret war with China for decades now. but there are many in this country and elsewhere in the Western world that all of a sudden believe that China is trustworthy and we should trust the Chinese Communist Party. it's absolutely crazy. I go back to what happened, during the first term of President Trump. It was the Chinese consulate in Houston, Texas, that was shut down, running basically secret overseas police stations. This was at the time. Then Secretary of State Mike Pompeo cracked down on that. but, we cannot forget, they are next to Iran. one of the greatest threats, of course, a client state, of China. Iran is, we Cannot forget about China and all of this. you've written a lot in your book, about, the global order of things. What are your thoughts on this?
Steve Deace Well, yes, there's an entire section of the new book, Trump's NewSong World Reorder, which is in stores now, and everybody should go buy it. Trump's NewSong World Reorder makes great Christmas gifts. There's an entire section in the book called All Trump's Roads Lead to China. And it's just plain as day. Look, everything he's doing is organized around containing Chinese aggression to prevent them from starting the next world war. They are an aggressive power. Their tentacles are everywhere, as you have just described, and they're truly horrendous. I mean, this is a country that killed 65 million of its own people in the 20th century. It has an ongoing genocide in Xinjiang against the Uyghurs right now against Falun Gong practitioners and Christians. They're actually engaging in live organ harvesting. They will torture you for your beliefs by taking your organs out of your body without anesthetic. So you're watching them do it and screaming in pain. These are not nice people. These are Communists, just like the other Communists we're talking about. And, yes, the Communists here are in bed with the Communists there. So, yeah, I look at Jensen, I doubt very much I agree with the President. I don't think Jensen Huang knew that he was sleeping with a Chinese spy. But I'm going to say here what I said on several, networks that aren't called Family Radio. I'm going to say the same thing, which is, dude, don't cheat on your wife. You wouldn't have been sleeping with a Chinese spy if you hadn't been sleeping with anybody but your wife. This is just nonsense. What kind of fool does this? And of course, we know. We know what Ben Franklin said about sin. Sin is not harmful because it's forbidden. Sin is forbidden because it's harmful. And you may think you're getting away with stuff. Maybe you don't think you're the kind of person that somebody would target for something. But the truth is, if somebody is tempting you to cheat on your spouse, they're up to something terrible and it's going to hurt people if only you and that person. So there is a fundamental Christian morality aspect to this story that must be stressed, because you may not have a Chinese spy trying to sleep with you, but there's probably somebody who would like to, and you shouldn't let them be faithful. Everything in the world is better if you're just faithful.
Ryan Helfenbein Amen. Amen.
Canada China Outreach Sparks Debate Over Sovereignty And Globalism
So well said. And I, would just say it's interesting, you know, in all of this, why Nvidia? And when you think about the data centers, Nvidia, by the way, is worth trillions of dollars. Now. It's a crucial biggest company in
Steve Deace the world.
Ryan Helfenbein yes, biggest company in the world. it's a huge target. when you think about the polarities of power that are at play, so much goes back to Nvidia. and so I think this is largely why it happened. But, fundamentally, you're absolutely right. Fundamentally, sin is dangerous, it's harmful, it'll destroy. M. The, devil comes to steal, kill and destroy. Christ came to give us life and to give it abundantly. And we have to remember that. but what's interesting is that you look at the size of Nvidia. It's larger than the total size of the Canadian economy. Prime Minister Mark Carney, is now seeking closer economic ties with China and reducing its dependence on the United States, the largest trading partner of Canada. And, according to their own government, nearly three quarters of merchandise exports go to the United States. But yesterday, Prime Minister Carney also said he would raise, Chinese interference in Canadian affairs. He talks about wanting to change the relationship with that government and saying that essentially that United States is more harmful, to Canada. Go ahead and play the clip, guys.
Mark Carney Yes, I will be meeting with President Xi Jinping next week at apec. we will discuss many things. We'll discuss security situation, around the
Mark Wayne Mullin world.
Mark Carney We'll discuss our economic partnership, which is, is something that, is deepening, but has clear guardrails in terms of the areas in which we're involved. And I didn't say this in French, but I'll add this, in terms of the security risks of our
Jenna Ellis partnership, they are much, much, much, much less than the security risk,
Mark Carney for example, of the
Jenna Ellis United States.
Ryan Helfenbein Much less than the security risks of the United States. And by the way, he, didn't say it in French because it would have been stronger in French. I have no idea. Rod, your thoughts on all of this?
Steve Deace Well, it's just mind numbingly stupid. we have been close allies with Canada since 1949 through NATO. We have integrated continental air defenses through NORAD, which has been the case, since almost that time. We were allies in World War II. We were allies in World War I. We've had the longest undefended border in the world for nearly two centuries. And he thinks the security risks from the United States are bad. He's lying. He doesn't believe that. He admitted when he walked away from the trade deal with President Trump that the President had just offered him the best trade deal ever offered to any country by any president. He admitted it, okay? Those are his words. This is ridiculous. And it's ridiculous, but with reason. Mark Carney is a socialist, so on that level, he has an affinity for China and a hatred for the United States. Second, Mark Carney is a globalist. He is the citizen of three different countries. His last job was not governor of the bank of Canada. No, no. His last job was governor of the bank of England, where he worked to oppose Brexit. Because what he wants is for, ah. He wants Canada also to be part of the eu, where everyone is ruled by a technocratic elite that doesn't have to answer to an election. That's the goal. So when you look at all these guys, it doesn't matter if you're talking about the mullahs in Tehran, the communists in Beijing, or, or the socialists in Ottawa. They all have the same agenda, which is to rule you and not have to answer to an election. It implements differently. It looks a little different on the ground, but they all share that. And the only thing in the world preventing that from being the norm is the existence and power of the United States. That's why we're the target. That's why we will continue to be the target. And we have to win.
Immigration And National Identity Debate Extends From Canada To Texas
Ryan Helfenbein Yeah, we have to win. And I love how, you put it. I mean, it's so important for people to see the plot here. it really comes down to being ruled by communists, being ruled by globalists, or being ruled by American citizens. We the people. And that is really what's at stake in our America first policy. And, and I would just say if I lived in Canada and I'm a Canadian citizen, I would want to have a Canada first policy. every nation must fight for its own sovereignty, its own national self interest. They must promote the sovereignty of their own nation and the interests of their people. But that is not the interest of globalism. And I think in many ways we have been conditioned as Americans, and I'd say many of the conservatives have been conditioned this way to think internationally, globally. I would say one of the problems even in the identity of the Republican Party, and I'm not talking about President Trump, but the managerial class, of those that ran Texas for such a long time, that are finding themselves out of office, they are not Seeing themselves as Texans, as Americans, they were not putting the priorities of Texans first. The Chamber of Commerce only wanted growth, growth, growth, and they didn't care where it came from. That's why they didn't care about immigration. That's why they didn't care about H1BS. They didn't care about any of that as long as GDP was continuing to grow. And by the way, I love GDP growing. I want the free market, to thrive and to prosper in the United States. We all do. But we have to also look at how we are achieving those numbers. And this entire replacement strategy where we kill a million American babies and then just replace them from whoever, from wherever, around the world, that strategy does not work. And globalism is just as much a threat as well as, complete and total communist takeover. And I think that's exactly why Western Europe is, in flames right now, is because the globalist agenda had opened up their borders to let anyone in.
Steve Deace Well, but Rhyen, let's be clear. That agenda is working for the socialists. That's the case in Canada. Victor Davis Hanson keeps pointing out 45% of everyone who lives in Canada is either foreign born or the child of someone who is foreign born. 45%. Nearly half the country. We are within just a couple years of the majority of Canadians being from somewhere else all at once. Now, we're an immigrant nation. We have people from everywhere. Everybody came from somewhere else. Heck, even the Nez Perce and the Cherokee came from somewhere else originally. So, you know, we're for that. But when you import an entire body of foreigners who don't share your country's values and don't have a shared collective, attachment to your country, well, that's perfect for the globalist socialists to manipulate into the form of government they want and not the form of government you had. That's what the Biden team was doing. Letting 10 million illegal aliens in and just four years, and thank God, the president's about to be rid of half of those in under two years. So we're doing a great job on that front. But this is the scam, and it's got to be stopped. It's absolutely essential. You're not loving your neighbor by letting them commit criminal acts. You are not loving your neighbor by letting them be human trafficked by cartels. And here's one American family radio listeners need to understand more people. We're talking about women and children being sex slaves. We call that human trafficking. More people were human trafficked into the United States just in the Biden years than the total number of Africans who were enslaved and brought to America over three centuries. Think about that number. That's what the Democrats did. They knew they were doing it and they refused to enforce it. And when we got a good movie about a hero who actually stopped a human trafficking ring, the Sound of Freedom, all of the liberal media united in pooh ing it and calling human trafficking a right wing conspiracy theory. They don't care about these people. They care about their power. And if human trafficking is the price, if killing a million babies a year is the price, if post birth abortion is the price, if making a hero of Lindsey Clancy is the price, and yes, in Canada, they now killed more people through their so called health care system through their euthanasia program. Now they can legally kill people without their consent. In Canada, they kill more people legally than are killed in the United States by gunshot wounds. This is horrifying. That's where the world is headed if we don't stop it. And by the way, in Texas, you're exactly right. The Republican leadership should be ashamed. We in Florida won. And Texas should immediately recruit Brian Hughes to run for governor.
Ryan Helfenbein Absolutely, Rod.
